CAN PIPE A MILE A DAY.
How SooE indianapolis Can Be Connected
with the Natural-Ga Field

Mr.. George N. Riley, of Pittsburg, represent
ing the National Tube works Company, of Nc
Keespoyt Pa, arrived in the city yesterday, for
the purpose Of negotiating contract for piping
with some of the natural-eas companies. The
towns of Anderson, Greenfield Noblesville,
Marion, Munce and Kokomo were furnished
pipe by this company, and Mr.. Riley mapped
them for the work.
''How long would it take to bring gas into
Indianapolis was asked of him by Journal re-
porter.
IF the contract were made for the pipe to-
day, you ought to have gas from any point
twenty miles distant by Dec. /. We have put
in ten miles of mains in forty-two days, and in
the coolest kind of weather at that We can
furnish pipe of any size at the rate of a mile a
day.
'.Do you consider natural gas dangerous as a
fuelg
Not if it is properly piped. The safety lies
in the workmanship. OF course, any gas is
dangerous if ignited in large quantities. We
have had no explosion in PittsbErg in eighteen
months. and all the explosions that ever oc-
CURED were traced to bad work. There is one
thing, however, that ought to be remembered.
Gas mains should not be laid under cemented
or otherwise alright street II there should be
a leak even though very slight, the gas would
accumu late under it and eventually force its
way to the sides. possibly into cellars. If not
cemented in it " ould work its way through the
ground and pass off,"

The admirers of Samuel j. Tilden, who take
pleasure in proclaimine every possible occa-
sion that he possessed more Jeffersonian sim
plicty than any man of his weight in the coun-
try, were of course unaware that he owed doc

probably be considerably advanced before the

to-day when asked if the payment had been re-
Simmons for medical service and attendance
upon Mr.. Tilden. Instead of giving plain
and satisfactory answer the trustee said that
DR.. Simmons was the proper person from whom
to get information.
DIR. Simmons, who is also a Commissioner of
Charities and Corrections more willing to
talk than the trustee had been. He talked all
around the bill but never Mentioned the amount.
he promptly denied that payment had been re-
fused, but admitted that he had not been paid.
Any delay in the matter should be ascribed TO

GOING TO THE ENCAMPMENT.
The Indiana Delegation of Veterans at st.
Louis Will Number Over Three Thousand.

George 81. Thomas Post G. A. r. at special
meeting last night ompleted arrangements for
attending the national encampment at St. Louis
on the 27th 28th and Goth inst. The Post de-
cided to 60 in a body. and so far over one hun
dred members have stated that they would CO.
The meeting last night was one primarily for
arranging the details of the excursion A large
number of flags and banners will be taken along
A band will accompany the post, and in every
respect the body hopes to be equipped equally as
as well any other post in attendance. 1t is the
hope of the members to make the organization
the most attractive in attendance. Assistant Ad-
jutant general Walker has received letters
from nearly every post in the State, and the in
dications are that thousands of veterans will
leave this city the special train at IL o'clock
on the Goth inst. In addition to the old soldiers
many civilians will join the excursion. All the
other posts in this city will send large delega-
tions, and the letters Colonel Walker has
ceved show that there are few posts in the State
that will not send from ten to fifteen representa-
tives. 1t is the hope of the department. of Indi-
ana to have more veterans in line than any other
State, and the chances for the hope being
allied very good. In addition to the
members of the g. A. r., the various posts of
the Woman's Relief Corps of this city will send
large delegations.

Anna Miller's Story Regarding His Declara-
lions Of Love and His Threats to Her.

During the tria, of the Miller-Bernhamer
guardianship case yesterday the Circuit Court
room was pretty well crowded with persons in
terested in the testimony. The case is based
upon petition filed by Miss Anna Miller, ask
ing that Bernhamer be removed as guardian of
her brother and sister. alleging that he is i'm
moral, and an unfit person to act as guardian.
Miss Miller was on the stand the entire day,
and during the course of her examination gave
some rather damaging evidence regarding the
conduct of Bernhamer, in connection with his
acts guardian of the children. Among 9TH
or things, she charged that
months ago Bernhamer came to her home
and made indecent proposals to her; that he
locked the door and held her hands until she
screamed and alarmed other members of the

that he had ceased to care for his wife, and that
il she would consent to take the.children and go
with him to New York city. he would turn all
his property into money and She would
not accept his proposal an she says he
then declared she would see the day when she
would beg hirc for the children. 1t was imme-
gan his habeas corpus proceedings for possession
of the children. Miss Miller also detailed how
she had found it difficult to get Bernhamer to
settle the board bills of the children.
On characterization an endeavor was made
to make Miss Miller admit that she had been in
the habit of remaining out late at night, visiting
wn4-rooms and keeping bad company. She
stated that she had visited wine rooms several
times in company with Bernhamer
